Ethiopian’s domestic route network is spread all over the country bringing provincial and administrative cities within easy reach of the capital and the region’s commercial centers. In addition, there is a daily "Historic Route Service" for
tourists to the country’s world famous ancient historic sites of Axum, Bahr Dar, Gondar and Lalibela which showcase obelisks and rock-hewn churches.

Special tour programs are designed to allow visitors to choose the activities and locations that interest them most, ensuring that everyone makes the most of the time they spend there.

World famous obelisks and rock hewn churches are the main attractions of the Northern travel sites of Bahr Dar, Gonder, Lalibela and Axum. And for trekking enthusiasts, the Simien escarpments which are often compared to the Grand Canyon in the United
States of America and named by UNESCO as a world heritage site is ideal.

To the east, Dire Dawa and Harar offer a blend of natural beauty and history. The Afro-alpine habitat of the south provides unlimited opportunities for mountain walks, horse trekking, scenic drives and bird watching.
